## Chapter 631 – 631. God’S Atlantis
631. God’s Atlantis
Seira, who had been lying on my thigh, blinked her eyes and then, startled, raised her upper body.
“Good heavens! The Yett Slug Queen isn’t just one…?!”
That was Seira’s conclusion.
I nodded, agreeing with her.
If there wasn’t just one Yett Slug Queen, then the phenomenon that happened yesterday could be understood. And the unprecedented number of Yett Slugs.
‘If there are two Yett Slug Queens that give birth to Yett Slugs, then everything makes sense.’
Seira became urgent. The reason she could be so relaxed was because the mission was over.
“Seira. First, calm down.”
I grabbed her shoulder as she was about to rush out, picking up the greatsword leaning against the wall.
“The fact that the Yett Slug Queen is alive means the city is still under attack by Yett Slugs. We need to find and eliminate the Yett Slug Queen as soon as possible.”
“I know that. But are you going outside in that state?”
“……”
Seira’s face flushed red.
Seira was completely naked, without a single thread on her body. To be precise, she had no clothes. Yesterday, she was attacked by the Yett Slug Queen, and everything except her greatsword had melted away.
“Even if there’s no one to see in this mountain, isn’t it a bit much to walk around naked?”
“…I admit I was hasty.”
Seira reflexively raised her arms to cover her body. She covered her breasts and her vagina. But even so, her breasts were too big to be completely covered. Her areolas peeked out. At least her vagina was covered by her palm.
“We’ve been through everything together. Is there any need to be embarrassed now just by showing your naked body?”
I reached out and touched her slender neck. The kiss marks I had left were gradually fading.
Seira frowned slightly, as if my touch tickled her, and said,
“Kyung. That and this are different.”
I didn’t know what was different, but I let it go.
I was fine going outside like this, but since she seemed so concerned, I gave her my coat.
She exuded a strange sexiness wearing only a coat on her naked body. Since she was about the same height as me, the coat only came down to half her thighs. Her pure white thighs and legs were fully visible.
‘Her large buttocks and breasts create an obscene curve.’
Especially her breasts were so large that she couldn’t close the front of the coat. She revealed her pure white cleavage and barely covered her nipples. But if you looked closely, you could see her pink areolas peeking out. Her appearance in the coat was strangely more alluring.
A glance.
Seira, wearing the coat, briefly looked at me, then sighed and picked up her greatsword.
“How long are you going to stand there with that thing up? Prepare to carry out the mission.”
“I’m fine like this… Well, I guess I’ll put something on for Seira’s sake.”
I put on my clothes and strapped my sword to my waist. Her sharp gaze urged me, so I dressed as quickly as possible.
“I have one request for you.”
“What is it?”
“I want to send a signal to the Yett City to let them know we’re safe. Things are taking longer than expected. There’s a possibility they might send knights looking for me, or my father might even come himself.”
“Reinforcements aren’t bad, but showing yourself in that state would be dangerous. The signal you’re talking about is lightning, right?”
“Is it possible?”
“It’ll consume a lot of mana, but it’s not impossible. If I drop lightning in the shape of letters, I can convey the situation to the city to some extent. It can’t be too long of a sentence.”
“Just let them know we’re safe.”
We went outside and found a spot where the city was visible. Then, I dropped lightning to send a message to them. All the soldiers on the city walls would have seen it.
“Are you satisfied?”
“You did well. This will reassure the knights and soldiers to some extent.”
“I used more than 80% of my mana for that.”
“I am grateful to you. And you don’t need to step in after this. My physical condition is normal unlike before. I can handle Yett Slugs on my own.”
“What I want isn’t just a verbal thank you.”
“……What do you want?”
I reached out and grabbed her face, pulling her closer.
“I’ll say this in advance, no sex. We need to deal with the Yett Slug Queen urgently.”
“I know. We’re just kissing. Just kissing.”
“Mmm…”
We kissed.
My hands naturally moved towards her buttocks and breasts.
•••
Several hours had passed since then.
We found a cave. It was a large cave, and its entrance was cleverly hidden by a large rock. It would have been hard to find if we hadn’t passed by this area.
Seira and I had serious expressions. The cave felt somewhat artificial.
“Seira. Was there a cave here originally?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never heard of a cave like this.”
Seira strode into the cave. Yett Slugs like dark and damp places. The Yett Slug Queen was no exception, so it was necessary to check the cave.
Ssssh. Ssssh. Ssssh.
The unique sound of Yett Slugs was heard. Before I could even draw my sword, Seira’s greatsword was slicing through the Yett Slugs’ bodies. The deeper we went into the cave, the more Yett Slugs there were. Of course, that didn’t stop Seira.
Then, stairs and a door appeared.
“Seira.”
“……Yes. This is artificial no matter who looks at it. Someone modified this cave.”
The door was slightly open. Light was even coming from inside. But there was no sign of anyone inside. Not even the presence of Yett Slugs.
“Isn’t it possible that no one’s there?”
“It’s too quiet for that. It’s probably because of a barrier that hides presence and sound. I don’t know who it is, but to dare to take a place in the Arpis territory without permission, especially on Yett Mountain… As the successor of the Arpis family, I cannot forgive it.”
Seira, looking angry, violently pushed the door open.
The scene beyond the door was quite shocking. There were dozens of transparent incubation tubes. Inside the tubes, small Yett Slugs were trapped and wriggling.
On one side, there was a table. It was filled with unknown instruments.
“It seems someone was experimenting with Yett Slugs here. I don’t know what kind of experiment… Seira?”
Seira had been quiet since entering the room. Even though she was usually quiet, it was strange for her to be this silent. Seira was looking at the incubation tubes on the inside. Following her gaze, I looked at the tubes and was startled.
“Yett Slug Queen…?!”
A baby Yett Slug Queen, about 30cm in size, was wriggling.
“It’s confirmed. Someone was artificially cultivating Yett Slug Queens here.”
There was no need to ask Seira why.
There was only one thing that could be obtained from Yett Slugs.
Yett Powder.
If a stable supply of Yett Powder could be secured, it could bring in more profit than an iron mine. The effects of Yett Powder had already been proven.
“They’re doing something unforgivable.”
I could feel killing intent from Seira. She held her greatsword in one hand and swung it horizontally. The sword aura shattered the surrounding incubation tubes, killing the Yett Slugs. The loud noise disappeared, and she turned back.
“Kyung. We need to find the owner of this place. Can you find any traces? Even if we can’t track them down right now, we need to at least find out their identity.”
“I’ll have to search around first. There seem to be various items, so there might be something that could be a clue.”
Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.
A door that we hadn’t noticed while being focused on the incubation tubes opened, and a man came out. He was an old man wearing a black robe. In the old man’s hand, he held a staff that looked like it was made by weaving together living tentacles.
“It was noisy, and it seems unexpected guests have arrived.”
The old man’s gaze ignored me and was only directed at Seira.
“Are you the owner of this place?”
“That’s right. I am the owner of this workshop. The monster of Arpis sent his daughter instead. If that monster had come, I would have avoided him… You’re lucky.”
The old man didn’t seem to have any intention of running away.
I also drew my sword and took a fighting stance.
“Reveal your identity.”
“I am Telmas. A black magician. But… while I was holed up in my workshop, did the culture outside change? You’re dressed like a whore, not a princess.”
Seira ignored Telmas’s words. She didn’t step back, nor did she cover her body. She just glared at Telmas with hostility.
“Black magician. Do you know what you’ve done and still come out so confidently?”
Telmas proudly spread his arms as if he had been waiting for this.
“Of course, I know. It’s the artificial cultivation of Yett Slugs. And I have achieved my goal. I have successfully cultivated a Yett Slug Queen, and I have confirmed that the Yett Slug Queen gives birth to and controls Yett Slugs. The days when your Arpis family monopolizes Yett Powder are over. This is my achievement, Telmas’s!”
“A black magician alone couldn’t have done this. Tell me. Who is behind you? Who supported you?”
“You’re quite sharp. Yes. I received support. To be precise, I received a request from those guys.”
“Who are they?”
“That’s… I can’t tell you. I made a dangerous contract.”
“I will definitely drag the information out of your mouth.”
“Hehehe.”
Telmas chuckled lowly.
“Princess. You should have swung your sword and beheaded me the moment you saw me. Talking to me to get information was your mistake. You will feel that mistake to the bone.”
Telmas’s staff hit the floor faster than Seira could swing her greatsword.
Thud!
Darkness emerged from the staff and covered Seira.
Seira didn’t retreat. Instead, she stepped forward.
“You fool. This is the darkness of curses. You will die in agony within the curse. Princess of Arpis. I will make good use of your corpse. You will be a good sacrifice.”
I hastily retreated, but Seira didn’t stop.
“Seira!”
I answered in surprise. It seemed too reckless.
“It’s okay.”
Seira answered calmly. The darkness covered her. But immediately after, a warm orange light flowed from her body, repelling the darkness.
“Wh-what is that…!”
“I made a contract with the mistress of the warm hearth. No curse can harm me. You should have used ordinary magic instead.”
“You damn bastard!”
Telmas hurriedly turned around to run away. But it was too late. Seira swung her greatsword, and his two legs and staff were cut off.
“Aaaaaaah!”
“Quiet. Don’t scream with just this much pain. Even greater pain awaits you.”
Seira approached Telmas, who had fallen to the floor. She seemed to be planning to knock him unconscious.
I looked at Telmas from the side and quickly created lightning. The guy screamed in pain and was drawing a magic circle on the floor with his finger. It would be hidden from Seira’s view by his back.
“Seira, that guy is up to something!”
“What?”
“You fools. It’s too… Kuaaaaaaah!”
Lightning struck Telmas’s body. Zzzzt. Blue lightning flowed through Telmas’s body. The electrocuted guy couldn’t complete the magic circle and died on the spot.
I don’t know what the last magic was, but he was more useless than I thought.
‘No. Was he just too compatible with Seira? Curse immunity, really.’
Seira sighed as she looked at Telmas’s corpse.
“…Sorry. Seira. Did I interfere unnecessarily?”
“No. I am grateful to you. He knew that curses wouldn’t work on me, so he must have prepared another dangerous magic. It’s my first time fighting a black magician, so I was too careless.”
“Still, there might be some clues.”
I approached the black magician. A disgusting smell of mixed chemicals filled the air. I took off his robe and checked his face. Most of his hair was gone, and there were age spots all over his face.
“Have you seen him before?”
“No. I don’t know him.”
I rummaged through his pockets. There was nothing special except for magic stones and Yett Powder. I took off the old man’s clothes. It was disgusting enough to make me want to throw up, but I had to do it to find clues.
Seira’s eyes widened in surprise as she saw the tattoo on Telmas’s back.
